[QUOTE="borofergie, post: 272861, member: 33342"] I've done it in the past without too many problems, but honestly you're better off getting your protein from whole food than from a recovered waste product from the dairy industry. Some people make the mistake of eating too much protein on a low-carb diet. Remember that any that isn't used in repairing and building your body will ultimately get converted to glucose in your blood. Steve Phinney and Jeff Volek say that you should aim for between 0.6 to 1.0 g of protein per pound of lean body mass, which is enough for repair and rebuilding and to meet your brain's minimum glucose requirements, without elevating your BG levels later in the day. I'd save my protein allocation for meat and eggs, which as well as filling me up, provide a host of other nutritional benefits. There is some suggestion that whey protein will spike your insulin, which is why people on ketogenic diets (like the Atkins induction) often avoid it. I usually eat some left over meat from the previous evening's meals for breakfast (some cold steak or a duck breast). The combination of protein and fat is enough to keep me satiated until lunch-time. Whatever way you look at it, a low-carb protein shake is a better option than cornflakes or a bagel... [/QUOTE]
